Definitions

  • Agent system computer network and method for loading an agent system from a host computer to a client computer of a computer network
  • the invention relates to an agent system, in particular an agent system for mobile agents, a computer network with a plurality of computers networked by means of data lines, and a method for loading an agent system from a host computer to a client computer.
  • Agents are autonomous, cooperative software units that consist of code and data. They are independently functioning software units that do not require constant interaction with the user. There are both stationary and mobile agents.
  • Mobile agents are e.g. from US 5,603,031 and from the book Software Agents, Bradshaw Jeffrey, Menlo Park, California: AAAI Press / The MIT Press, 1996. The chapter in this book about mobile agents is in a slightly modified version on the Internet at http: // www. generalmagic. com / technology / techwhitepaper. html available.
  • Mobile agents are programs that can be active in different places in a computer network and can change their location in the computer network. Traditionally, programs on a network are loaded from one computer to another while they are not running. Mobile agents, on the other hand, are initially activated and automatically change their position in the network while they are active.
  • the agents are on created a specific location of the network, the functions to be performed by the agent being determined so that the agent, after being transmitted to another location in the network, represents the previous location of the network and performs the corresponding functions.
  • functions can be defined in one place of a network which are carried out in another place of the network.
  • this is also possible with conventional systems, in which case a permanent exchange of information is necessary in the network between the two places, so that they are transferred from the place where the corresponding control processes are defined to the place where they are carried out.
  • the mobile agents do not require any such control processes, since their functions are defined in advance and then carried out automatically. This considerably reduces the data throughput of the network, and any operations can be carried out at the locations remote from the client.
  • the agents do not always have to work completely independently of their initiator, but can set up communication channels with him or with other places in the network.
  • the mobile agents execute a migration command (for example “go”).
  • a migration command for example “go”.
  • Such a command requires a description of the destination, the name, address or type of the place or a combination of which the agent is to move to.
  • Different locations do not always have to be located on different computers in the network. It is also possible that agents are active in different locations within a computer. Mobile agents can also multiply so that they perform their functions independently of one another in different places.
  • Mobile agents are often used to collect predetermined data, some of which is evaluated on site, so that a pre-processed result is sent to the original client.
  • a possible application for such mobile agents arises, for example, if a buyer of a certain item is guaranteed a low price by the seller.
  • the buyer can then send out one or more mobile agents who independently receive corresponding offers from other providers, possibly monitor them over a certain period of time, and send them to the buyer so that he can compare them with the price offered by the seller.
  • agent system is a collection of utilities that each agent needs to perform its tasks. These utilities usually include an agent manager, which is connected to other utilities, so that the active mobile agents can access the respective computer resources and can migrate from one agent system of the network to another agent system of the network via network interfaces. As a rule, an agent system control is provided, which regulates the sequence of the agent system on the respective computer. These agent systems form the places in the network where the agents can become active.
  • agent systems are usually in a platform-independent computer language, such as JAVA, written so that they can run on any computer system.
  • Agents are usually relatively small programs that are sent out and take advantage of the intelligence available on site. Since mobile agents can process their jobs even when there is no permanent network connection between the individual computers, they are ideally suited for use on mobile computers, which are usually not permanently connected to a network.
  • the term computer also includes simple process computers which are only equipped with a minimal hardware configuration (processor, memory and display). Such simple process computers are integrated, for example, on a single chip.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating an agent system which is more familiar with the scope of functions
  • the invention has for its object to provide a corresponding computer network and a method for loading an agent system from a host computer to a client computer of a computer network. The tasks are solved by an agent system with the features of claim 1, a computer network with the features of claim 6 and a method with the features of claim 9.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
  • the agent system which can be installed on a computer connected to a computer network, has an agent platform and an agent system controller.
  • the agent platform comprises utilities which a mobile agent requires in order to be able to be executed on the respective computer.
  • the agent system control includes an agent system launcher which can be loaded onto a client computer independently of the rest of the agent system and is used to load the agent system from a host computer.
  • the agent system according to the invention is characterized in that the agent system launcher is designed in such a way that, prior to loading an agent system, from a host computer to the client computer on which at least the agent system launcher is installed Hardware and / or software of the client computer descriptive identifier is sent to the host computer, and a server system installed on the host computer, the agent system - update program, is designed such that it is in accordance with the hardware and / or the software describing the client computer identifies an agent system adapted to the hardware and / or software of the client computer and loads it onto the client computer.
  • a host computer is any computer in the network from which an agent system can be loaded onto another computer of the present invention is referred to as a client computer.
  • Each computer in a network can thus be a host computer and a client computer, regardless of its other function in the network.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'agents pour des agents mobiles, un réseau informatique et un procédé pour charger un système d'agents d'un ordinateur hôte vers un ordinateur client d'un réseau informatique. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que le système d'agents pouvant être chargé sur l'ordinateur concerné du réseau est adapté au matériel et/ou au logiciel de l'ordinateur. Il est ainsi possible d'intégrer même de petits ordinateurs mobiles, notamment des ordinateurs industriels simples, dans un réseau, dans lequel des systèmes d'agents sont installés sur l'ordinateur individuel, sans devoir fondamentalement limiter de manière importante la puissance du système d'agents ni renoncer aux possibilités d'utilisation fondamentales de systèmes d'agents pour de petits ordinateurs.
